they said i could never be a disabled doctor... but i did. I became unwell in my 3rd year of medical school and was told to drop out, there was no place for disabled doctors. I balanced neuro rehab & attending my placements in a wheelchair. Today l graduated Medicine as Dr Niamh

long time no tweets. I wasn’t using this account as I had made pretty much a full recovery, I was back walking a few miles a day, going to the gym & looking to start driving…my FND was no longer in control of my life. But my return to ‘normal’ life came crashing down yesterday

It’s exhausting and anxiety provoking. Things like this is what is siphoning doctors from the UK and causing us to go abroad. We are so dehumanised by the system, we’re just bodies for service provision. Me being married doesn’t even count to keeping me in my 1st choice region

It is rubbish for everyone but particularly students with health conditions. I’m so tired of fighting for my right to be a doctor. I have demonstrated consistently my aptitude for medicine but I am continually failed by the system

So delighted to have presented at the #NADEGS23 conference last week! An amazing opportunity as a medical student to stand up (go me! 🦽) and present your research in front of a v impressive audience. Couldn’t have done it without the support of @DrLauraMoo and @ValWassRCGP 😊

'Can you help my mummy?' A heroic four-year-old girl is being celebrated for her bravery after she made an urgent 999 call when her mum collapsed in front of her. Mya’s mum, Rachel suffers from Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) which causes stroke-like seizures.
